One of my real irks, when first using a WinMo device, was the  native SIP, then you find the D-Pad, and all of a sudden you have a way to navigate through programs, and the system with one finger. Sounds great doesn’t it. One of the things that doesn’t work with this system, is that every time you try to scroll through a web page in any browser, whether it be MIE, Opera or netfront, every time you encounter a text entry field the default SIP emerges and obscures a third or half of your display real estate.

This little application called NullKeyboard, negates the default windows mobile setting to open the SIP when a text field is encountered, whilst navigating via the D-pad.

As most Windows Mobile Devices still utilise a variation of D-Pad navigation, this free app that hasn’t been updated for quite a while, and still works with all current versions of WinMo, is a handy, annoyance allaying must in your Windows Mobile inventory.

Sometimes the best applications are the smallest, but you have to check this out if you have a long commute, and can’t get a seat on the train.
